Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HR 30 - Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act
The Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act (HR 30) aims to enhance the safety of women by addressing the intersection of immigration status and domestic violence. The bill seeks to prevent individuals unlawfully present in the United States from committing acts of violence against women, thereby protecting vulnerable populations.
Key Provisions: HR 30 proposes to amend existing immigration laws to facilitate the deportation of illegal aliens who are convicted of certain violent crimes against women, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The bill emphasizes the need for law enforcement agencies to prioritize the apprehension and deportation of such offenders.
Funding and Authorities: While the bill does not specify direct funding allocations, it authorizes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to enhance cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. This includes the establishment of task forces aimed at investigating and prosecuting crimes against women committed by illegal aliens.
Programs and Agencies Affected: The primary agencies impacted by this legislation include DHS, which oversees immigration enforcement, and DOJ, which manages federal prosecutions. Additionally, local law enforcement agencies would be involved in the implementation of the bill’s provisions.
Beneficiaries and Regulation: The bill is designed to benefit women, particularly those who are victims of violence perpetrated by individuals without legal immigration status. It aims to provide a safer environment for these women by ensuring that offenders are removed from the community. Conversely, it regulates illegal aliens by imposing stricter consequences for violent crimes.
Key Timelines: Since its introduction, HR 30 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. The timeline for further action remains contingent upon the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.
